In My Play Bill The Class of 1948 has been one of the most active classes ever to graduate from our school. Many members of the class have already begun Work in their life's profession, while the others have gone through their senior year quite carefree Cexcept for a few tests now and thenl. A great number of the boys are considering joining the various branches of the armed forces and the girls, nursing or college. Out of the ranks of seniors, two clubs have been formed, the Quill and Scroll and the Stamp Club. The girls of Mr. Yoder's homeroom are seen every Tuesday morning with their little paper envelopes tucked neatly under their arms going from room to room collecting money for the U.S. Savings stamps. Those girls who were exceptionally am- bitious, walked up town to purchase the stamps. It wasn't too pleasant during the cold Winter months, but the time was easily made up during the Spring months. We also recall the sports of our school. They are something no one for- gets , they always remain quite vivid in your memory. The first sport in fall is cross country, led by our class president, Henry A. Zajac. As captain of the team he led them on to win the Berks County Cross Country Championship. Football is the next sport on the agenda. Here many seniors were in the limelight. Quarterback Fred Smith forged the way for the team to success, with the help of Bill Levengood, Jack Rothenberger, Sammy Neiman, Dick Steltz, and many of the other notable seniors on the team. All during this time and for the re- mainder of the year we noticed at quite frequent intervals seven girls dressed in red and black satin dresses or heavy sweaters and skirts, according to the occasion. Everyone knows these girls, especially Jackie Kline, the little vivac- ious red-headed senior. At the games it was Jackie who could out shout all the people around her and she instilled this enthusiastic spirit in all the people about her. Marian Moser, Betty Eisenhart, Eleanor Swavely, Pauline Endy, and Nancy Fisher were also among the wear- ers of the red and black. Basketball, like football, drew a great number of the student body to the games. The girls' team was one of the most successful teams welve ever had. The co-captains, Jean Schultz and Marie Mohn, were high scorers throughout the season, trailing close behind were Jackie Kline and Marian Moser. The guards were Mary Jane Kutz and Anita Ren- ninger. Two other senior girls who didn't play basketball but who were most important were Wanda Gresh, manager, and Ruth Yerger, timer. The boys' basketball team included Paul Moatz, who was so tricky with his left-handed shots that few could keep up with him. Bill Levengood, Jack Rothenberger, Sammy Neiman, and Fred Smith were all high in scoring and all exceptionally good players. 'Like our ancestors, We too visited the Court House in Reading, Pa. Who will ever forget the moving picture Call Northside 777 ? It was so typical of what we had witnessed in court that same afternoon. Our class play, You're Young Only Twice, was a Wonderful success, with Harry Reiff in the leading male role as an All-American center, Marguerite Leister, as the fussy old maid school teacher, and Clyde Underkoffler as the fascinating Frenchman who wooed Mar- guerite. These and Marilyn Neiman, Janet Bechtel, Frank Cressman, Wanda Gresh, Harold Weiss, and many others will never forget the nights of rehearsal, Manthorne's after practice and Titus Riegner's Ever Ready Taxi Service . We, the seniors, look back over these few things only to regret that they are finished and we realize how much we had to look forward to. We now look fcgrward to the world as our school of 1 e.
